Upgrade From 7077 To 7100
Apr 29, 2009
when i did an upgrade from 7077 to 7100, my grub menu's completely gone no more is it there. I know that partition's there it's just for some reason 7 decided to say oh no no more will you have the option to boot to linux probably a plan by M$ to screw over people who jsut want to do an "upgrade" into doing more work but oh well. So what's the plan now? Do i have to do a complete reinstall of ubuntu to get my grub back or is there a simpler fix?

Build 7100 will allow upgrades after all but from build 7077 up only. Without having to edit install routine.

Installed the update (not a clean install). After about 1.5 hours, everything was back up and went into 7MC. Asked if I wanted to use previous settings, I said yes. Get a Playtime install screen, then get error (although playtime was already installed). Went to the next screen and get my PID key request, type it in and says error (I know which keys to use, installed it about 5 times now).
Try several different options as far as uninstalling playtime, try going through 7MC setup, continue to get the error.
My question is, will the PID registration automatically fail if Playtime is not installed. I'm worried that I now have a useless PID as some others have reported. Installing Windows Vista Home Premium from the reinstall disks hoping I can get the PID to work.

When upgrading from 7048 to 7077 the installer freezes on the last step (copying files and settings) at 35% every time I've tried it. It suggested removing ATI Catalyst Install Manager and Control Panel, which I did, but it still hangs (although this time at 47%). I have tried several different configurations (with/without CCC and Install Manager, do/don't go online for updates, etc). Every time I have to force restart the computer and it will begin to restore the previous version.

I am having lots of small problems after upgrading from 7100 to 7127. I am using x64 and since the time I have upgraded, the whole machine has become extremely slow.
Earlier it used to be extremely quick in bootup and shutdown etc. Now it takes almost double the time to startup and shutdown. I am using a 256GB SSD and it is making a major difference in speed now.
I am planning to do a fresh install of 7127 x64 but any ideas guys?

I've got windows 7 V7100 running on my dell D600 and when i attempt to upgrade it to 7201 x86 it fails saying it can find winload.exe.
i have my drive setup like this
100mb windows parition. ( from the orginal 7100 install on a blank hdd)
58G OS drive where Windows 7 is installed ( 7100)
239G Apps Parition ( labeled F & Installed as mounted volume as media)
from what i gathered the upgrade tries to use F: as the setup from the upgrade ( i have tried via USB & just extracting it to C:Windows 7 or F:Windows 7 - it asks the same Question ) and if i edit the BCD with EasyBCD the upgrade seems to point to F:
Should i just remove the 100Mb and 58G partitions and reload in one parition ? ie fresh install and leave the upgrade alone.... ?

I have read I can use Windows 7 Home Prem Upgrade to UPGRADE my RC7100.
I have read I can't use Windows 7 Home Prem Upgrade to UPGRADE my RC7100 and that I have to have RC7600 but I thought was a RTM build?
I am confused. Do I buy an UPGRADE or a RETAIL???
I'd really like one simple answer PLEASE to one simple question...CAN I BUY and use an UPGRADE H/Prem Windows 7 to do an inplace UPGRADE of a legally downloaded and activated RC7100? I take it if YES, I have to put in the ISO disc I originally burned as "proof" of originally installed OS?

My upgrade from 7100 to 7264 failed. I had the same problem when upgrading to 7100 and had to reformat my drive. Here's the problem: at some point when transfering files and system settings (2nd step I believe) the C drive becomes currupted somehow. The OS still runs and boots, but the drive shows up as "access denied." The sizes under properties are all 0.
I'm using the computer to post this so it still runs, but the drive is desperately crippled. I think the partition table is messed up somehow.
Any ideas?

I have Vista x64 right now and I keep wanting to install the 7100 build beta that I downloaded a while back. I plan to buy the 3 pack of Windows 7 when it comes out but I am wondering if installing the beta build now will make upgrading harder down the road. Doing a clean install is just way to hard considering all the terrabytes of programs and data that I would have to either re-install or manually try to put back into it's original places.
I know a lot of people preach that doing clean installs is so much better. In my experience this has never really helped. I have on numerous occasions done clean installs and they never did seem to work any better or any faster than the upgrades that I have had installed for years. The only time I think you need to do a clean install is if you have stability issues with your hardware causing your OS to go flaky or if you neglect your OS and leave all kinds of crap floating around on it. We have one machine running Windows 2000 since 2000 and it is used daily without any problems or corruption whatsoever.

I'm currently running Win 7 Build 7100. I plan on purchasing Home Premium. My computer was originally running Vista Basic. I did a clean install of the beta (no partition, Vista is gone). Can I purchase the upgrade copy or do I need to purchase the copy for new computers? Will I need to put Vista Basic back on my computer if I want to use an upgrade copy? If I can upgrade directly from the beta, is it best to do a clean install? I'm a little confused as to how this process is going to work.

I don't post often, but I do read a lot, and there is a lot of good info here. Background: I am running a dual boot Win XP (32 bit) and Win 7 RC 7100 (32 bit). I have the Digital River WIN Pro Upgrade (32 bit). I have read the UNAWAVE downgrade scenario from Ultimate to Pro and the WIN XP to WIN 7 PRO upgrade here.
I am debating which OS to change. I really like the RC version and have been using it for quite a while. But since it is my main OS, I would hate to screw it up doing the downgrade as suggested by UNAWAVE.
If I upgrade the WIN XP OS, I am not sure If I would still be able to dual boot between WIN 7 RC and WIN 7 Pro.
If I do upgrade XP to PRO, would I be able to use WET to transfer my settings from RC to PRO. I am leaning towards the downgrade option, but wanted some more input from the "experts".

I have a sony vaio which originally came with windows vista but my recovery disk is buggered! I installed windows 7 when I was sent a link from MS and I have been told about an offer to upgrade as I'm a student so I can get it pretty cheap.
Can I upgrade from my current windows 7 (evaluation) to Windows 7 premium or do I need to have vista or XP installed before I can do so.
I would like to do a clean install I want to start out fresh.

I bought a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista and a promised upgrade to Windows 7 when officially released. To jump start, I installed Windows 7 RC Build 7100 from Microsoft over the shipped Vista OS.
I just received the promised Windows 7 upgrade fulfillment from Sony but when I try to install it it tells me that Windows 7 is already installed (duh.)
Is the RC based Windows 7 installation that I've built up over the last few months now junk bits or is there a way to use the serial number on the proof of license sticker on the fulfillment install disk Sony sent me and associate it with my current RC installation to make it legal and avoid any future trouble?
I'd ask Sony but they haven't responded to anything else I've asked about so I'm not sure there are any actual people left in their "service" arm.

I am currently running OS 7 Beta RC Build 7100. Were do I get this newer version, is there a big difference? And am I able to upgrade to the newer Beta?
I realize that October is fast approaching for the RTM but I plan to keep running the Beta for a couple of months past the Grand Opening.
Is it possible that all the updates that I have received equally add up to the newer build?

I've had a new problem on my 7077 installation.
Although my pc is running fine, when I try to click on my c drive, it says that it's not accessible.
There is therefore no information shown for it in terms of size, or or free space.
Even when logging in as an administrator, I cannot access it.
EDIT - I cannot even access my DVD drive, although I can access my D partition...
All was working fine until earlier this morning - and no, I haven't visited any 'dubious' sites recently, Any advice would be greatfully received!

Not sure if anyone's reported this yet, but I did a clean install of 7077 on my backup computer and anytime I start an application download and select "run" from the download menu, it downloads the program but will not start it, I have to go back and save the file, and run the .exe from there.
Anyone else run into this and found a fix?

I just made a clean install of windows 7 build 7077 and it worked perfectly for 1 or 2 day but recently whenever I open opera or chrome or ie the taskbar and pretty much every thing but the navigator freeze until I close the navigator or after 5-10 min.
I have not found any error report relevant, nor process going crazy in term of cpu,memory,disk or network utilization. I have tried deactivating firewall, antieverything, windows firewall and defender, xfire, msn, aero.
Weirdly µtorrent, newsbin pro, msn, vnc doesn't freeze everything. I suspect the issue as started after running ccleaner but I don't know how to undo what it did. I have found hundred of people having about the same problem on XP but none of there solution worked for me.

I've been using seven (32bit version) for quite a while now on my laptop ( MSI GX710PX - amd turion64 x2, ati hd2600 (512MB), 250 GB,2 gigs of ram). The first installation did the problem mentioned in the title of the topic after i installed Kerio personal firewall - i didn't know what to do, so i just reinstalled windows.
But now it happened again:
The comp was running for 3 days, i turned it off @ around 2:00 am, then turned it on at 8:00 am - for the first time i could login, and i even see the taskbar and the background, but the icons never showed, i couldn't click anything on the taskbar either, ctrl+alt+del did nothing, so i had to restart it manually.
The login screen showed up, i entered my password, but it never made it to the desktop, it just got stuck like that, the HDD wasn't spinning or anything - restart - in safe mode it boots up normally , so i uninstalled a few recently installed programs ( mkvtoolnix and alike ), but after restarting it got stuck at the login screen again.
Now normally i would just reinstall windows, but after two months it has too many programs - lot of time to install them again
So i thought i'll ask here for help! The notebook has XP as it's main OS, seven is installed on a virtual harddrive (30gigs).

I'm getting random freezes that require me to restart my computer and I'm not sure what's wrong. The OS installed fine with no missing drivers (aside from my wireless network card and my LAN drivers which still doesn't work: Realtek RTL8168B). At first I thought I had bad video drivers as I've experienced this before with Vista but the problem persisted even after updating to the lastest Windows 7 beta drivers from ATI.
It's strange because the system rarely froze during normal usage but the OS freezes immediately when I play any internet based games (Left4dead + COD4) or use any 3rd party program that requires bandwidth (utorrent + IRC).
I suspect the culprit now to be the wireless drivers but what doesn't make any sense is that I've had no issue at all with web browsing. Internet surfing and IM-based programs (Digsby) work fine. The wireless drivers work as expected.
Other things I've done:
Vista32 Home = stable.
Memtest86+ passed without errors.
All drivers current (Windows 7 betas if possible if not Vista64).
Ran programs that caused immediate freezing in compatibility mode (Vista SP1).
Power Options: Display off @ 30 minutes; Sleep @ 2 hours.
Turned off Media Player Network Sharing services (read it could be an issue)

Recently upgraded to 64bit. Seems i have a little problem with both 7077 and 7100. The PC wont shut down, or restart, it just hangs. Occasionally it will restart but not often. Ive tried everything such as Bios checking, unplugging external equipement.
Its not any software ive installed, it even does it during setup. Will come to a part of setup where it needs to restart and it hangs, i have to manually restart it for setup to continue.
I hope someone has a clue as to what may be doing it, as i thought it was a 7077 bug and it turns out its more likely my PC then anything else.

Possible error here in Windows Explorer (build 7100 X-64)
Expanding Computer in the window on the left doesn't show the 2 installed CD / DVD devices but only the "Virtual Device" created by UltraISO.
Double clicking on the computer shows all the devices as shown in image 2.
UltraISO or Windows prob? Not a real "Show stopper" but I would like the system to be correct.
